The Instituition

We live by the Instituition. We die by the Instituition. Most of us never give much thought about the Instituition. Well, you never need to give much thought the Instituition unless you happen to come across things as un-instituitional as you can get. And that is that un-instituitional thing happens to include you in the fold. if not, let it fly baby, let it fly.
Different part of the world have their own social instituition. Here in a little plot of land in south east asia is no different. over here, touch is a no-no. so generally we are low touch culture ppl. funny thing is, touching is scientifically proven to stimulate immune system which will obviously make u healthier and happier. so why, why are we determined not to touch? Me? guilty as charged. I hate to touch more so to be touched. as long as it is not skin to skin anyways. hands are fine. nothing more than that. Why then this social instituition of ours forbid it? why then do we adhere to it? We evidently think it would lead to unhealthy thoughts and that will promote moral decay. SEX. yes, in the process of stopping ppl to think about sex, the instituition did just the opposite. The more you forbid, the more curious ppl are and viola~! I give to you Malaysia today~!
MORAL DECAY AMONG YOUTHS~! WESTERN INFLUENCE SHOULD BE SHUT OUT~! BAN KISS SCENES~! and a host of other things which i happen to not be able to think of. I love this sentence the most ‘Moral Decay’. Its a little narrow minded if i must be polite. The instituition believes itself is absolute. heck, most people believed the instituition to be absolute. that is why they try so hard to cling on to it. to ‘preserve’ it. to enforce it. and lately, we see a desperation to do just that.
i wonder why we humans are so stupid some times. has it never cross your mind that how the instituition came to be? has it never cross your mind that the instuition was born from the ideas of collective human intelligence? has it never occured to you that the collective human intelligence is everything but perfect?! What made the instituition is humans. and as humans goes, they change. while they have change, the instituition does not. in the believe that the elders has the best of ideas, the instituitioin does not change. laughable. the ancients used to think that there are spirits governing every aspect of our lives. do we still like by that instituition? No. We think it’s absurb. so why should this be any different?
to all of you who believe the Instituition to be absolute. Let me tell you this. Social Instituition can be made, therefore it can be broken. and break it will. and be remade it definitely always will be. And let me get this straight once and for all, for moral decay to happen, that moral must first be adopted then broken. the Instituition believes it is universal when it never was and never will be. Moral by itself is thought up by humans, and therefore can be changed or discarded.
What you think is ethical, its just that. YOU THINK. Your ethics may not be mine and vice versa. Do not be so hasty to judge others that behave un-instituitionally. They may have a better reason to do so than you who follow it blindly.
